toledo - cupra r

[joe-20vt-toledo]

good evening all, iv just brought a mint condition cupra r interiour for dirt cheep, im having a problem with the frame for the leather gear gaitor not fitting in the hole in the toledo, it all came from a 2002 cupra r (red stiching) and is going in to my 2004 toledo sport. has anyone had this problem or is there something im missing as i thought the cars are the same except for the boot lid?

 

[joe-20vt-toledo]

ok because of the overwhelming amount of replies iv done some digging and found a thread in the Leon section that suggests that the 5 and 6 speed has different center consoles to each other anyone able to confirm this?

But your 20VT has (or should have) a six-speed 02M box, as does the LCR. In any case I don't see any reason for the center console to be different for the different gearboxes that can be found in various Leon or Toledo models, the insides are pure Mk.IV Golf as far as I know.

It is, I suppose, possible that the LCR has a different center console to the other Leons. It has a lot of other parts that are specific to that model.

on the 1m toledo they are more or less the same centre console apart from the grey inserts.

well it wont fit in at all tryed every way round, i took the center out today whilst fitting seats to have a look and the hole is 9mm smaller than the frame, fed up with the thing now and refitted my toledo one.

Yes mate the lcr one has a larger hole
I'm in the same boat, put a Toledo centre console into my Leon cupra r

The plastic frame bit in the bottom of the boot should pop out then you could fit your original one into the cupra gear gaitor/boot thing and clip it in.

Yer so I have to try get the clip from the Toledo ?
As my cupra r surround is too big to fit in the hole of the Toledo console

 

[Seatmann]

Yeh, it's just inside the gear boot thing, it's that that clips into the centre console.

 

[aaronipswich]

Ok mate ty I'll look for one on eBay
Didn't really wanna take a dremal to the opening on the centre console

 

[joe-20vt-toledo]

im planning on getting a cupra r center console because the frame is on the outside on the cupra one ie: leather goes over the frame on the toledo and i was planning to wrap the frame in carbon to match my interiour, but then saw the brother-in-laws v5 with the ashtray
in it so might modify one to fit the cupra frame (hope that made sence)

You could maybe check out golf ones too, have you not got any mates with a Mk4 golf? Might be worth a shot as they'll be easy to get hold of.
